For my foster mom...

Please say a prayer for peace of mind for my foster mom. She's a mural artist and set decorator, and all around talented woman who has adopted "stray kids" at her home when ever one of us needed a place to go to get away from the BS of life. I've called her mom ever since she took me in as a kid, and my kid calls her Nana.

She's facing surgery on her right eye, where they'll suck the jelly out of her eye, and plug a hole in her retina with a gas bubble. She'll have to stay prone for two long weeks (during Christmas set decorating season and best mural painting weather). She's unsure about being able to stay like that for so long, and concerned about the doctor and surgery itself. The side effects aren't nice either, she's going to need cataract surgery within a few months after this is all healed.

She's a tough old bird that's helped me through some rough patches, and I'd appreciate any good vibes you can send her way!

Cataract surgery should go over smoothly, I wouldn't worry about that and eye surgery is pretty advanced so that should go over smoothly too. I will pray that the doctors hands and minds are sharpened and guided for you and that your friend may survive this and come out better.

I will be lighting a candle tonight while enjoying a cigar & thinking on your foster mum Jessica. Anyone who put's themselves out there to help kids is a saint, believe me I have much debt owed in this life to a similar person.
